Music and Lyrics by Tom Lawton - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qw0DElCjUIY
Played capo 1st fret in standard tuning.
Sun on my shoulders, there s no clouds on my face
The waves roll in at such a wonderful pace
I m cool with chillin , I don t need no race
I m gonna relax, lay back, pick a guitar and live the simple life.
Now Harri-Jo, she is a friend of mine
You ll find her with me most of the time
She rolls in meadows and she lays in sunshine
And she s the one who taught me to always live the simple life.
If you can t hear it then just close your eyes
you ll hear the beauty that society hides
The singing birds and buzzing bees in hives
Oh, what s hidden behind is the secret to the simple life.
So if you wanna see what I see
Just close your eyes
And if you wanna hear what I hear
Just quiet your mind
And there you will find the simple life
So many people trading money in suits
They check their labels and they polish their boots
They use Ferrari s for a mile commute
Oh they re stepping on your dreams and trying to keep you from your simple life.
No time for looking, they got no time to see
Just how beautiful this world can be
They re too concerned with machines and money
Oh they re building up a wall between themselves and the simple life.
Gimme a call if you re needing a hand
Come sit beside me so they you understand
Toes in the water, got your ass in the sand
Drift away with the breeze, and there you ll find the simple life.
So if you wanna see what I see
Just close your eyes
And if you wanna hear what I hear
Just quiet your mind
And there you will find the simple life
Well life goes by in the blink of an eye
And I wish that you could see just where you could be
Where you could be
So I will walk you hand in hand right through this world of ours...
Then you ll let go of me,
Run wild and be free,
cos now you can see,
The simple life.
